Advances in packaging technologies offers new prospects in prolonged cold storage of fresh products. Gaseous combination of CO 2 , O 2 or N 2 at different level of concentration in modified atmospheric packaging (MAP) is the most adopted treatment. However CO 2 , O 2 and N 2 gases in MAP systems in most cases has not given satisfactory appearance despite improved stability as revealed from the reviews. Therefore further research in other possible gases is very important. Research effort should not be limited to stability and appearance during preservation but also retaining this attributes during display even for a length of period of sale. Technologies like injecting Nano trace elements in the packaging and storage procedure can improve the appearance and produce designer effects as obtainable in other processes.
